Chapter 467: Why Flee?
Shu Feng placed a hand on Nangong Yuan, and a stream of Profound Qi flowed into his body. At the same time, a transparent tentacle pierced into Nangong Yuan to scan him.
"Nangong Yuan."
"Black Tortoise Sacred Body."
"Suspected Child of Destiny of the Black Tortoise Realm."
A line of information surfaced.
A strange glint flashed through Shu Feng’s eyes. ’Child of Destiny!’
The ancient records of the Zhu Clan’s experts, the travel journals of various Legendary Mages from the Gulondo World, and the research materials of the Divine Research Association all indicated the same thing.
In worlds invaded by the Void Demon Realm, the Heart of the World would suppress the invaders. But beyond that, the world itself would also give birth to countless geniuses to fight the Void Demon Clan.
Among these geniuses, many would find treasures just by stepping out of their homes, discover the legacy of a powerhouse after falling off a cliff, or encounter a wandering grandmaster who would take them in as a disciple and guide them, leading to an astonishing growth rate.
These Children of Destiny were the worlds’ way of fighting back against the Void Demon Clan. Within their home worlds, they grew at an extremely fast pace, possessed astonishing luck, and could often foil the various schemes of the Void Demons through sheer good fortune.
Shu Feng pondered for a moment before making a decision. ’So, have I become one of those grandmasters for a Child of Destiny? In that case, I’ll just go with the flow. After all, I have no reason to defy it.’
The Black Tortoise Sacred Body was an incomparably powerful Martial Dao Constitution within the Black Tortoise Realm. A person possessing this Martial Arts Sacred Body could easily master any form of Martial Arts, and their comprehension was over a hundred times greater than that of an ordinary person.
Shu Feng said, "Nangong Yuan, take me to that cave!"
Nangong Yuan replied with an excited look, "Yes! Master!"
"Not so fast," Shu Feng said. "I will only be your master after this is done."
In the Black Tortoise Realm, the relationship between a master and a disciple was nearly equivalent to that of a father and son and could not be established casually.
"Yes, Lord Poison Emperor!"
Though a little disappointed, Nangong Yuan was not discouraged and led Shu Feng deeper into the Flame Desert.
’There really are a lot of little bugs!’
Shu Feng’s gaze swept over a desert scorpion in the distance. He remained impassive and continued to follow Nangong Yuan deeper into the Flame Desert.
"This is it! Master, the cave is right here. Dig away the sand, and underneath you’ll find a cave that glows with seven-colored light."
Nangong Yuan had arrived at a stretch of desert, and he pointed to a seemingly ordinary patch of sand as he spoke.
Shu Feng looked at the unremarkable patch of desert, lost in thought. ’No wonder my eyes couldn’t find it. It’s hidden so well.’
Thousands of Spiritual Eagles with exceptional eyesight soared through the sky. They were Shu Feng’s eyes, tasked with searching for World Origin that had leaked out during the Great God-Demon War.
Eager to get started, Nangong Yuan asked for permission, "Master, should I dig?"
"No. Before that, I’m going to clean up the little bugs following us."
With a faint smile, Shu Feng flicked his fingers. Two streaks of Yin Yang Qi Finger Aura, like terrifying Poisonous Flood Dragons, blasted toward the desert behind them.
As one Yin Yang Qi Finger Aura blasted into the sand, a spray of sand, blood, and gore erupted from below.
"Source Energy +10,000, Holy Soul +1, Profound Qi +100,000,000!"
"You little bastard! How vicious!"
With a furious roar, sand and gravel burst from the desert. A terrifying, hair-raising ghost head emerged and viciously slammed into the second Yin Yang Qi Finger Aura, shattering the beam that resembled a Poisonous Flood Dragon.
An old man with a ferocious face, dressed in black and exuding a dense Ghost Qi, shot out from the sand. He stared fixedly at Shu Feng, a bone-chilling killing intent flashing in his eyes.
Shu Feng said calmly, "You’ve all been following me, obviously with ill intent. To be able to block one of my finger attacks, you must be Ghost Demon of the Three Demons of Dragon Mountain. As for the one under the sand, I presume that was your brother."
"Correct. The Poison Emperor truly lives up to his reputation. Worthy of being number two in the world; your strength is only a hair’s breadth inferior to Wei Tuxian in his youth. Seventy years ago, I would have been no match for you. But things are different now! I have obtained even greater Power! Now, even Wei Tuxian would face certain death against me!"
A ferocious glint flashed in Ghost Demon’s eyes. Demonic Qi billowed around him as his body suddenly swelled, transforming him into a three-meter-tall blue demon. It had Ghost Horns on its head and was covered in cyan scales. A triangular Curse Seal was reflected in its eyes, and it exuded a terrifying aura.
"What a terrifying monster!"
The moment Nangong Yuan saw the blue demon, his expression changed drastically. Goosebumps broke out all over his body as fear and trembling welled up from deep within him.
Shu Feng flicked his fingers, and streaks of Perfection Level Yin Yang Qi Finger Aura shot toward the transformed Ghost Demon, each one like a terrifying Poisonous Flood Dragon.
Each streak of the Yin Yang Qi Finger Aura could easily suppress an ordinary Martial Saint.
"It’s useless! Mere humans are no match for a superior race like our Void Demon Clan!"
The transformed Ghost Demon gave a savage grin. Shrouded in a terrifying layer of Void Demonic Qi, it formed one Fist Seal after another. Like a horrifying Ancient Demon, it shattered each of the Yin Yang Qi Finger Auras and then rode a fearsome demonic wind as it lunged straight for Shu Feng.
Nangong Yuan’s expression changed dramatically, and he cried out, "Master, look out!"
"Not bad! Your strength is impressive, a real surprise. You’ve already surpassed the Ten Thousand Profound Demon Ancestor. This is fantastic!"
A flash of excitement lit up Shu Feng’s eyes as he activated his Supreme Demon Body, transforming into a terrifying, five-meter-tall Ancient Demon with a pair of fleshy spurs on its back and countless sharp spikes covering its body.
Before the Ancient Demon that Shu Feng had become, the three-meter-tall blue demon looked like a child standing in front of an adult.
The Ancient Demon that Shu Feng had become emanated a terrifying Demonic Qi that was both incomparably domineering and utterly pure.
Shock flashed through Nangong Yuan’s eyes. ’This is the Martial Art my master cultivates? What in the world is it? How can he look even more like a monster than that Void Demon monster?’
’Not good! Don’t tell me he also sided with the Void Demons!’
Seeing Shu Feng’s transformation, the Ghost Demon was dumbfounded. He slammed on the brakes, his body shooting backward as he fled in a frenzy. He had an instinctual premonition of death.
"Why run? Let’s have a real fight!"
Shu Feng’s figure flickered. As if teleporting, he appeared behind the Ghost Demon in an instant. His hand shot out like lightning and clamped around the demon’s neck. A terrifying devouring power erupted, instantly absorbing the Power of Void Demon from its body.
